I was surprised they didn't try some mid-line screens, quick passes to the TEs, mesh routes in the

middle of the field. Kelly's offense is largely dependent on 4 verticals, which takes times to develop. I really think a lot of the O's problem is about the route system ND uses. Watch how Alabama uses the width and depth of the field; I don't see Kelly's routes using levels and forcing a DB to make a choice of which receive to cover.
